Trees and PEPCO blamed for storm outages
Montgomery County and PEPCO officials faced criticism over the Jan. 14 ice storm that knocked out 11 substations and left over 230,000 homes without power. PEPCO VP Bob Grantley blamed heavy tree cover and Maryland laws for outages, while lawmakers urged faster restoration and better crisis plans. County leaders noted the scale of damage, the costs of burying lines, and the need for improved tree management and response.
